Re: OT Variax (with sustainer)



I've thought about getting one of those before. Good to hear that they work well.

Coincidentally, I was just listening to 'Musette and Drums' by the Cocteau Twins - that song always makes me fantasise about owning a sustainer guitar! It blows my little mind.

If you like sustainers that much, there is the Sustainiac Model C floor
unit that essentially makes it possible to have a Sustainer on any guitar
you own (as long as it is electric and has a headstock for the clamp-on
transducer).

I have owned Sustainiacs of this variety (actually the earlier Model B)
for years, and although the extra cable can be a nuisence, the things can
be made to work quite well with any guitar and the sustain more dynamic -
like real amp feeback.

anyone tried NST on a Variax? I just did, in a shop, and was intrigued -
it would make my playing life easier, having to switch between tunings,
sometimes quickly, and needing at least two guitars for that. Now, if it
had midi and a sustainer ... I wonder if it can be done and if anyone
has tried?
